[Important] Retiring Febii - 5,000 Watchers!
5 years ago
~Makes Fluffy Wolgon Noises~ Hey everyone!
I want to start off this journal by first thanking everyone who has recently watched me along with everyone else who has supported me for the past feed years from when I created Febii. It’s been a massive milestone for me to hit 5,000 watches on FA.
💙 THANK YOU SO MUCH💙
____________________________________
Next, I wanted to get into the meat and potatoes about the future for Febii as my fursona. When I first created her I wanted a character to have complete writing freedom to express some of the most imaginative ideas I had or themes others wanted me to do. This was at a time in my life where I needed an outlet for my depression and craved any sort of positive attention, so a lot of art doesn’t express what /I/ like as much as what /other/ people do. She was designed that way. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on art, often having multiple commissions at a time in a single month which would cost me more than my paychecks gave.
I fed off of the comments about the art I posted and excitement people felt when I posted new expressed ideas, leading me down a rabbit hole of constantly being broke out of my own volition. Febii was a gift and a curse, one that I never thought would garner as much attention as she did which allowed me to meet so many amazing people and some of my closest friends today.
For the foreseeable future, I’m retiring Febii as a character and I won’t be commissioning any more art for her. It’s too expensive and I’m trying to save up to achieve my other goals. This is the happiest I’ve been in years and I don’t need Art as a crutch anymore, so I hope you’ll all understand.
I’ll still be around as Febii, but I’m making another account under another character which will represent ‘Me’ as a person. That’ll be the true extension of myself and the things that I like which will be posted later today at the bottom of this journal.
I may revive the character at some point but that won’t be for a while. I’ll still be around as Febii, and she will forever be my fursona, but she has never represented myself as much as my upcoming account/fursona will.
I WILL STILL BE ACTIVE HERE. I still have art in progress I'm waiting for, but I'm not buying anything more. If I do, it'll most likely be a year or so from now or small pieces.
If you have any questions let me know!

I appreciate the support though ♥
I'm extremely excited to get a few small things for the new account that I can comfortably call an extension of myself ♥
Wishing the best for your future!
I'll buy art in the future, but for now, I don't plan on anything for a long time so I'm shelfing her to focus on something that does make me happy. I do appreciate it though ♥
I kind of hope you just keep all your stuff in one spot but I understand if you want to keep things separate :3
Addiction is a difficult thing, I'm just happy that I'm able to control it.
Edit: Whoops replied tot he wrong comment sorry.
I hope you'll continue to have a great time, and even if you are retiring Febii as a character, you can't stop me from asking you "Want som fuk?" whenever I see you :P
What you're saying is making a lot of sense! And I totally get it. Personally I never thought of you as someone who gets a lot of art, and that's why you're worth something.
We met on picarto, we talked, and I enjoyed it. Febii to me is a person first, and a creation second :)
And while it may be hard to separate the two of you after years of it being connected, I'm happy to know the person is still here, even if the creation is on indefinite hold.
I've definitely enjoyed the art you've posted since I started seeing it on the artists' channels, but you need to do what's best for you, because that's the most important thing anyone can do is take care of themselves first. ^_^
I know I've never really spoken with you, but as a fellow person who went through a similar experience, I'm here if you need someone to talk to. You CAN get through it and become your own self.
Your decision is ultimately for the better. My only hope is that you find even greater happiness in what it is that will move you forwards in life!
I understand the whole...dumping money into arts. I went through that phase when I first made my FA account three years ago(holy fuck, it’s been that long!), so you aren’t alone. And hey! I know we don’t know each other(aside from me being your watcher and fan), but if you ever need someone to chat with, the feesh will hear everything you have to say! I know, so cliche of me to say as a watcher. XD
I just hope that wherever life takes you from this moment on, your journey will be smooth and ever...onward!
And for those, who watched you for the fantastic and kinky art done of Febii, you can make (money) plans on how to keep her around, so we all can see Her from time to time! Commission and post only as much as you planed and want to, but take care of your money management as well! I have a sort-of-degree in Economy and I really learned much stuff, that is useful in life. The Law of Usefulness (I am Hungarian, don't know how it is called in English) is a good lesson here: You have 10 dollars. Can buy stuff for 1 dollar, which earns you 10 satisfaction points. You buy a donut and earn 10 points, the next donut earns you only 8 points, since you already satisfy your need. The 3rd donut only earns you 4 points, and your 10th donut minus points because barfing and stuff. Instead of buying your 3rd donut, you buy 1 soda and you get 10 points. Also each dollar is worth 10 points of satisfaction. The moral of this story is: Manage your spending in a way to maximize your Satisfaction Gain!
Best of luck to you with your future endeavors!
Though, I'll be sure to stick around towards your new account, too. I'm curious to see what your new character will be like, and how you'll grow with them.
(This comment might be a left-fielder, but I've seen a couple of my favorite artists/creators just suddenly pack their things and leave the internet before. That sort of thing is always is a big shock to me. I actually thought things were getting deleted earlier today, but they were just in Scraps.)
